Check out our Q&A with Brett below. 

How did you get into triathlon?
I first got into triathlon in 2019, starting off with some short courses, then moved into longer racing formats, with my first long-distance race being Challenge Wanaka in New Zealand.

What's your goal race?
70.3 Taupō (half Ironman) in December. This will be my second pro start and I am looking forward to testing myself against the best in New Zealand.

One tip you have for aspiring triathletes?
Find a coach who knows about strength training and can help incorporate strength and conditioning workouts into your training program. Building full body strength is key to longevity and peak performance in endurance sports.

Your go-to Roam product?
Chocolate Protein Powder after a hard session.

Do you have a recovery routine?
After a hard run session I'll go for an easy 60-min spin on the bike or swim in the pool. This 'active recovery' helps free my legs and sets me up for the following day. 

Any fun facts about yourself?
Sport has always been an integral part of my life. One of my most memorable experiences was training at an altitude camp in Kenya with some of the world's best runners. 

I'm an outdoor enthusiast through and through - surfing, snowboarding, hiking, and even a round of golf to unwind. And I'm a big Quentin Tarantino fan, so a good film or series is my go-to for relaxation.
